THE PRIZE COMPANY.

Y ankton's Militia Boys at Aoms-Ds-
tails Of their Late Exploits at Huron
Preparations for Fature Efficiency.
Company E first regiment Of the Da-
kota national guard returned from
Huron yesterday, rs briefly stated in q
previous issue, where, In a competitive
drill with two Of the best drilled COM
panies in the Dakota soldier organiza.
ton, it has been found the most efficient
and has been given the priae which was
offered by a Huron firm for the best
drilled company. This prize was taken
by the company fairly upon merits and
although in many instances people have
raised exceptions to the decision, there
is no room for doubt rs to the justice of
the result. Company e drilled against
the Redield Company, Of the first regi-
ment. and company 81, of the second
regiment. from WATERFOWL, both Of
which companies are very proficient. The
judges we're Dol. Townsend, commander
OF the llth United States infantry, Col.
Bentley, commander Of the first regi-
ment of the d, N. g., and Dol. Sheafe,
commander Of the 2nd regiment of the
D. N. g. The judges in deciding COL
sidered t~echnioalitien and errors of com-
pany commanders, SO that company E
held some advantage in being command
ed by Captain Hamiester, who is reoog-
missed by every citizen soldier in Dakota
as authority on all matters military.
Company e drilled on Tuesday last
as it never drilled before. The members
paid strict attention and moved almost
as n man, go that to the efforts of in
dividuals belong most Of the credit.
Previous to the day OF the drill the
company worked extra hours in prepar-
ing itself and on Monday night last the
time between z and II p. m. was spent
on the campus in drill. The next morn
ing at 4 O'Clock the boys were mp and at
drill and the hour for entering the com-
petitive arrangement found many Of the
members tired and ready to give up.
But strict attention and careful execu-
tion OF orders carried the day and while
the company received no cheers during
the drill. after the result the first regi-
ment showed Its appreciation by calling
on company E and extending. oongratu-
%lations. COMPANY h was the most
soldlsrly appearing organization at the
enoampment," said q prominent man on
Tuesday last, and that condition Of af-
fairs was only atteined by hard work.
Now it behooves the people Of Yank-
ton to appreciate the recent success OF
the company and the members Of the
organization believs this will be done.
The company will MAKE an attempt to
greatly improve Its armory this winter,
and if the attempt is successful the re-
suit will be that next year the company
| will bring home another prize. Other
towns in Dakota take on interest in their
militia organizations. which encourages
the organizations on to harder work end
Yankton will not be behind. ALI the
company asks is to be backed up in its
efforts by the citizens and then any
company in order to compete with it
will have to be taken from the regular
army.

How Men Die in Battle.

When we got into the Brock Road in
trenchments, a man a few files to my
left dropped dead, shot just above the
right eye. He did not groan, or sigh, or
make the slightest physical movement,
except that his chest heaved a few times.
The life went out of his face instantly,
leaving it without a particle of express
sion. 1t was plastic, and as the facial
muscles contracted it took many shapes
When this mans body became cold, and
his face hardened, it was horribly dis
torted, as though he had suffered in
tensely. Any person who had not seen
him killed would have said that he had
endured supreme agony before death re-
leased him. A few minutes after he fell

fell with apparently a precisely similar
wound. He was slaughtered out and
lived for over an hour. He did not speak.

every mountain and hill shall be made

straight and the rough places plain.
And the glory of the Lord shall be re-
vealed, and all flesh shall see it together"

A Protest Against Cheap Books.

The custom of wiring" books instead
of sewing the sheets together, was i'm
ported, we believe, from America, and is
there used almost universally. Even
costly scientific treatises receive this
abominable treatment. Here it is at pres
ent used chiefly for the cheap and ephem-
eral literature, which perhaps it is not
unsuited for. But book buyers should
refuse to take copies of valuable books
that have been wired. All that is neces-
sary to avoid receiving them is to state
when ordering copies that wired ones
will be refused. If the publisher declines
to supply sewn copies, the buyer should
order the work in sheets and have them
bound up by a competent bookbinder.
The extra trouble and cost will not be
wasted 1t is unnecessary to explain
the mischiefs arising from the use of
wire; they are palpable on Inspection

A DAY AMONG THE HORSES.

The following article appears on page
1876 of the number of the Journal of Agri-
culture for November, 1858:
We accepted at Manchester, n. H., the
invitation of Mr.. NJ. ID. Taggart to spend
IA day in the inspection of his fine stud of
horses. Mr.. Taggart's horse Farmers
Beauty received but the second premium
from the committee on stations, while
he considered him fairly entitled to the
first; but the owner was aware that one
horse only could get first prize, and as
the committee in its best Judgment had
awarded it to a rival he had the good sense
not to be. spunkv; we therefore took
pleasure in meeting him half way. Mr..
Taggart's residence is at Gohstown, some
six or seven miles from Manchester, en-
bosomed among hills, Il quiet, lovely val
ley. where if anywhere content could be
found. We were whirled thither by a fl
ery-eyed tilly who let no grass grow be-
meath her feet. He has fine private
track on his farm. one-half mile in circuit.
for our benefit. The first horse that was
speeded was a fOur-year-old sorrel by
Farmers Beauty. Though evidently not
in condition, being just from soft feed
and the stable and not half warmed up,
the colt did the half mile in rs. A dark
bay gelding was next put on his mettle,
and finished his mile IN , As. Next step
ped forth Il three-year-old colt called the
Lee Horse, who measured the half in | :32
The Black Warren, two-year-old colt
which received first premium for colts
proved himself worthy of his honors by
rafting over the course in :35. Finally
the Farmers Beauty, the pride of Tag
CARTS heart, after his better half and
baby, though in high flesh and withou,
warming exercise, performed the half il
l :35. When we remember that these
horses were not in training and that they
were fresh from meal, and performed
on an indifferent track, compared tt
those where horses win laurels, We
doubt whether the time could be much
bettered by any single stable in thu
State. Mr.. Taggart has good materials tt
improve the stock of New England, ant
farmers will do well to profit, when they
can. by the proximity of any of his stall
lions. Had we not been sorely pressed
for time, we would have visited othe
stables, as we hope yet to do.

ANCIENT HORSE HISTORY.

A description of the New Netherlands
by Adrian Van der Donck, printed in
1866. is contained in the New York His
torical library. On page 164, in the
chapter headed "Of the Animals of the
New Netherlands, we find:
"The horses are of the proper breed for
husbandry, having been brought from
Utrecht for that purpose. and this stock
has not diminished for size or quality.
There are also horses of the English breed
which are lighter and not so good for ag-
ricultural use, but fit for the saddle.
These do not cost so much as the Meth
erlands. breed and are easily obtained.
There are CuracOan and Arabian ponies
imported into the country, but these
breeds are not very acceptable because
they do not endure the cold weather of
the climate well and sometimes die in
winter. The whole of this breed requires
great care and attention in winter. Fine,
large horse are bred in the country,
which live long and are seldom diseased"
The files of the Long Island Star in the
Brooklyn Historical library contain the
following:

Gold and Paper.

A paragraph in ono Of the state papers
as to the relative weights of gold coin
and paper money has made demand on
druggists for the use Of their scales. 1t
appears that question was raised as to
the number of 81 bill required to equal
the weight of 81 gold piece. The
guesses ran all the WY from ten to one
hundred or more, bu the scales showed
that seven bills vii just tip the scales
down on the side whre the paper money
is placed. Tests hee in Hartford give
the same results, thei' being very slight
variation when new bills are used
